Flew atlantic site Fri then seagrape Sat with jefft and robc (Of the infamous and world traveling "Merrycone" gang)Then Ian talked me into a few more hours of flying before sunset...this is the footage. The next day (Sun) 1 flew 4.2 Km Xc from here. 8.4 KM RT. in epic conditions.
I have a paramania revolution and a syphony.I've taken it out(rev) and got some air but the imbankment is to low to get any real lift.

Hi lobster, the paramania revolution and the symphony by DK are motor wings with large sink rates despite what the specs might say they both are lousy for soaring....great for motor though.

12-13 mph, youll want a true soaring wing to try your hand at soaring unless your wing is a crossover type. Most motor wings have poor weightshift response, glide ratios, and shorter than normal lines and tend to dive in the turns losing alot of altitude...perfect behavior for motoring, but not soaring. I fly both just so you know.
